On May 1st, eighteen hundred and ninety-four, 
at No. 4 East Monroe Street, through the united 
efforts of a number of enthusiastic and earnest 
women, the " Noon-Day Rest" was opened to self- 
supporting women. The membership increased 
rapidly and within a month there were six hundred 
members, and many more on the waiting list. 
There have been many improvements since that 
day, and the "Rest" is now, in every sense of the 
word, a Club Home. The membership fee is 
twenty-five cents a month. 

The "Noon-Day Rest" consists of a suite of 
comfortably and attractively furnished rooms, 
including reception hall, office, library, music room, 
parlor, bed-room, sewing-room, lunch-room, and 
Lecture Room. 

The culinary department is in charge of a 
capable manager, who is instructed to see that the 
best of food, prepared upon strictly hygienic prin- 
ciples, is served in a dainty and home-like manner. 
No article on the menu costs more than five cents. 
A good hot luncheon can be obtained for ten cents. 

The lunch-room is light and airy, tastefully 
decorated, provided with electric fans, and commo- 
dious enough to serve between the hours of eleven 
and two o'clock — the eighteen hundred members 
of the " Rest." 



The members enjoy the privilege of a circulating 
library of nine hundred volumes, presided over by a 
competent librarian. The current literature, maga- 
zines, daily papers, etc., are provided. In the 
rooms may be seen the works of art purchased at 
the annual exhibitions by Chicago artists each year 
since 1896, at a cost of several hundred dollars. 
They consist of paintings and statuettes. 

The rooms are open from 8 a. m. till 8.30 p. m. 
A woman physician' from Klio Association is in 
attendance during the noon hour, who gives her 
services free of charge. 

Teachers are provided for those of the members 
who wish to form classes in French, Physical Cul- 
ture, English and Elocution, Drawing and Design. 
For seven years interesting and instructive lectures 
on Art and Literature have been given by Mrs. J. 
B. Sherwood and others free of charge. On these 
evenings a light supper is served. The classes have 
been largely attended. Some of these are free, 
some at a cost of ten cents a lesson. 

The management of the "Noon-Day Rest" is 
vested in the Board of Directors of the Klio Asso- 
ciation, and a Committee from Department of 
Education and Philanthropy, who receive no 
remuneration for their services. 

Profits accruing from the "Noon-Day Rest" 
are used for improvements in the rooms, benefits 
for the "Noon-Day Rest" members, and to aid 
worthy charities.
